The Appeal

Comments on President's Speeches If you have ought that's fit to sell, Use printer's ink, and use it well. The President in the South. (Editorial reprinted from THE AP-PEAL, St. Paul, Minn.) President Harding recently made two speeches in the South, one at Birmingham, Ala., the other at Atlanta, Ga., on the race question, in which he said that "a lot of information on the subject evidently due to the fact that he had studied only one side of the question. Of course Mr. Harding is right, when he says that the colored man should have political, educational and social rights, when he says that he is not entitled to every right to which every other group of Americans is entitled. The president has no right to say that one-eighth of the population of the United States must be differentiated in a way from the other seven-eighths. In his special message to the Congress which met March 4, Mr. Harding said that he looked with favor on the idea of the appointment of an inter-racial commission to study racial conditions in the United States. There was no need for haste in announcing his view on a question which he had not been studied properly in the short time since he, in June 1521, announced his intention to doowing to his many and pressing official duties, and it seems that the President has taken advantage of an opportunity and thrust his views upon the public ear, for the purpose of creating a sentiment in favor of his ideas to abate the discrimination obtained from individuals and books favorable to the South but inimical to the real interests of the colored people. The President erroneously confounds "social equality" with amalgamation. He says that amalgamation cannot be, but it exists, it has always combined efforts of the law and public opinion have failed to prevent the mixing of the races. Throughout the ages there has been so much racial mixing that today the scientists and businessmen of the United States such as a pure race. In no other country on the globe has there been more racial mixing than in the United States which is the melting pot of the majority of the population of the United States mixtures of various races and the greater part of this majority is composed of people with more or less Negro blood. The racial mixing in the South is almost wholly illogitimate and marriage between the races a crime. Now as to social equality, that exists in some part of the United States and it is only in those parts of the country which have more or less of social equality that the colored people have any rights which the white people respect. In many cases, simply that all rights are secure. In the South there is neither equality nor respect for rights. The contempt for the colored man is largely due to his inferior social status, which extends through all human relationships in that benign section of the country. Even at the speech of the people, were seragged and the disputes say, "In the white section there was a silence which was absolute and stony, only one light flutter of applause came when the President said, "The Negro should be encouraged to be the best possible Negro and not the best possible imitation of the white." Come please a few of the whites evidently visioned a "good Negro" of slavery days, who hat in hand bowed low when "ole massa" approached. The South has a queer idea of social equality. In the North "social equality" in its narrow sense, intimate social mingling in private house parties, dances, pink teas, etc. In the South the idea is distorted so that it includes civic rights, hence the jimber library, the jimberow library, the jimberow park, the jimberow telephone booth and so on ad nauseam. When Harding was a candidate for President, THE APPEAL doubted that he would give colored people a square deal and was not disposed to a colorful campaign by letters signed by Chairman Hays and Secretary Miller and many leading Repulicans, as well as the jim-crow campaign bureau that he would be just to his allies. Also Editors lammon Monroe Trotter说 he had a good chance to win with the President and he had promised to in eliminating segregation. Then came a speech to a number of colored delegates from the Harding front porch, which began with a speech that began with "Colored men America will not fail you." These assurances caused THE APPEAL to give candidate Harding enthusiastic support. Our support probably, had little to do with victory, but is mentioned in that paper was not prejudiced against him. Soon after the President assumed his duties it was noticed that he seemed to forget his promises. Segregation in the department of Washington colored three or four jimcrow colored men were appointed to jimcrow government positions. Colored youth were segregated in the army training camps and colored men were not allowed to enlist in the navy. In even more recent years, the department has stood for the segregation of colored citizens and it is sad to relate that some jimcrow men accept this jimcrow settlement of matters. THE APPEAL does not bellow, as many puts it, that there is "fundamental, eternal and unescapable difference between the races." To do so would be to challenge God and Christianity. It is a diffent departure from the ideals of teachers of the Republic who declared that "all men are created by the Creator will certain仁意able rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." After his argument in favor of a distinct place for the black and colored people, Mr. Harding tells us that the "one thing we must most seduously avoid is the development of a black country." He argued against the very thing which he has previously argued for. There are just as many differences between the individuals of any one race as are their between the people of any number of races. The idea of race differentiation, in any case, is a matter of the government, and in public association is contrary to a just concept of a democracy in which all men are presumed to be equal, and is repugnant to the highest ideals of the Christian's God, who is declared to have made of one blood all nations. If Mr. Harding is right, God is wrong. If Mr. Harding had had the time to study the question and he had studied it with an open mind he would have found that in France, Spain and Portugal, there have never been any racial hatreds founded on the color of the skin and the same is true of South Africa. In the United States, unharmed by class and color distinctions colored men have risen to the highest places in every branch of human endeavor. There are more full-blooded Negroes in Brazil than in the United States, and the mixed-blooded population of black Indian and white, and the pure whites, the population totals over 30,000,000 who live together in perfect harmony, without any public differentiation of race. There are no social barriers whatever in Brazil and it is a complete refutation of the idea that there are social barriers between the men and women who are citizens of a country. Color differentiation means the ascendency of one caste and the degradation of the other. Social equality does not necessarily mean amalgamation, but it does mean that individuals to determine. During the coming disarmament parley, the Japanese will be treated with the greatest social consideration. They will be wined and dined and received at every social function, meeting people who in their own way are important and in spite of all the social mingling it is safe to say that not a single marriage will result. In a democracy like ours, all men, whether they are black or white, red, yellow or brown, should meet in all human relationships without discrimination. Simply as AMERICANS, President Harding and Social Equality (Those The Nation, New York.) (From The Nation, New York.) "And fault fault fault," the final word straight into Southern territory and come out plump for the colored man's political and economic rights, and the necessity of giving him an education equal to the white So President Harding ought to have informed us whether he meant by his words on social equality to approve the right to have cultural opportunities in theaters, in concert and lecture halls to colored people, and the unending discrimination against them in restaurants and hotels and in practically every walk of life. He is opposed to that precious hit of Wilson wrongdoing, the secreration of the colored man in the departments at Washington. Until Mr. Harding was elected, he would mean which more mean to the colored man than anything else, which daily bend his back, scify his soul, and make every educated colored mother look like a child. He can justify to them their being called into existence, he cannot have THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1921 thought through the problem nor can he render the full service which we believe he desires to- render, who we honor him for seeking to render. Without in the least urging intermarriage we must protest against the President's propaganda of "fundamental, eternal, and inescapable race differences." We have no quarrel with us, but we urge who what urge to call racial purity. But the true method of control in this matter is by a sound social opinion and not by laws, nor by the branding iron, nor that slow fire upon the brain of the oppressed to prevent the spread of Protestantism. These measures are as ineffective as they are cruel and debasing. The laws against intermarriage in the United States are the most effective promoters of the immigrant incubation and they place the black woman at the mercy of the white man without redress. As a matter of fact, statistics prove that where marriage is permitted the amount of it is neglected. The racial intermarriage is socially unwise and racially destructive, nature herself will take a hand and control it without men's having to resort to crime to check it. But in the last decade, the individual freedom and liberty must believe in the right of every sound individual to seek his mate where he will and if necessary to pay the price for his deed in social ostracism to the rest of the world. Penalties. Once more we repeat that if racial admixture is not prevented by the instinctive disinclination of the races, it will not effectually be prevented by denying to one of them the ordinary courtesies which individuals deserve by their essential humanity. What Mr. Harding has yet to see is that if the colored man obtains the economic freedom, and the boon of education which he craves for him this whole question must be justified itself on a far nobler and better basis; that as long as the question of social equality is made the excuse for abuse, ill treatment, and the denial of rights sacredly guaranteed by the constitution, he must be to the whites who thus make of their republic an hypocrisy and defile their own souls by sponsoring injustice and wrong. There is something sadly wrong with a racial integrity which must be preserved in that manner. The fact that the white man is eternal, and inescapable race differences" they will take care of the situation themselves. But whether they do not, or not, President is true to America who does not insist that the white man freest social opportunity without barriers of class or race or color, and political freedom as well. Condemns President's Conception of American Citizenship. (From the Afro-American, Baltimore) President Harding's Birmingham speech is being criticised by colored people because it promises the colored race too little and by the white people because it promises the white people ten thousand colored people who listened to the President appeal for political and educational equality for them, cheered because they know that their own state disfranchises them by the thousands and robs them of millions of dollars of their wealth. His twenty-thousand white hearers are correspondingly silent. On the other hand President Harding subscribed to the white South's view of "social equality", which means intermarriage laws, jimcrow laws, and office for colored people and discrimination at every point of contact between the two races. Carried out to its logical conclusion the President would sanction a separate school for the hardened race of blacks in the city. Me, separate cars for the Boston subways and a disruption of the Methodist Episcopal church. It comes with poor grace from a President of the United States to thank him for his hard work, he cannot be" and close his eyes to millions of mulattoes in this country who represent the lust of the white race. We ardently believe with the President that colored people should dislike the hardened race and prefer to hear him say so before his election rather than after it. The Afro-American admires the President's courage, believes in his sincerity, but condemns his conception of American citizenship, his ignorance of the history of civilization and his bad taste. Complete Surrender to Lily-White. (From the Independent, Atlanta, Ga.) "I will not appoint any colored men to office in the South. Sink or swim, survive or perish, live or die, I shall stand by this position." Is that in keeping with his great wisdom? Is that equality at Birmingham? On the contrary does it not contradict that policy? The President has made a complete surrender to the lily-whites who have moved heaven and earth to eliminate the Republican leadership, and has placed the leadership in the hands of such men as Basom Slemp of Virginia. Colored men were driven out of the Republican convention by orator John McCain, former lieutenant, see Keeling and Houston were delegated to come to Georgia and remove the regular Republican state central committee and put a new committee in charge because the Presidential candidate has no leadership without regard to regularity and the rules of the party. We again ask, does this comport with the President's demand for no biblical question or accepted anti-comminham? We submit this to the deliberate judgment of mankind and ask a verdict. Race Needs Unlimited Vision. (Attorney Walter M. Farmer in the Chicago Broadax.) What right has the President or any other official, speaking in his official capacity to give advice and to fix mets and bounds within which a certain group of American citizens must strive and aspire? The race in its struggle upward is not in need of barriers, but of unlimited vision, of room for expansion, of friendly atmosphere, in which to be able to compete in situations, arbitrarily set by the flat of unjust discrimination. Nor does the race stand in need of so much advice gratuitously given. We had expected the President to suggest that the colored man strive to become the best possible American citizen. What should be the "best possible black man"? Why should the worth of American citizenship be limited by racial lines or the color of a man's skin? The President wants the colored group to stand apart, pursuing its own inherited traditions, preserving its own race purity and race pride. The President wants the colored nation within a nation. This is not only impossible, but undesirable and the President in advocating such an anomalous position has placed himself in a very embarrassing attitude to the least. The colored group wishes to be privileged to privilege and every immunity that belongs to American citizenship. Great Danger in Things Said. (James Weldon Johnson in New York If the things which Mr. Harding demanded for the colored man can be achieved in the South and in the United States, while at the same time the race, either voluntarily or not, is not completely separate and distinct element in the nation, an element considered either too different or too inferior for common human association with the rest, it will entail the working of a man whose thing has not come to pass in the whole history of the h. man race. It seems that in developing his speech President Harding inadvertently betrays the illogic of such a man, by using aagraph in which he stresses the permanent and eternal difference between the races, which must be fostered rather than diminished, he makes the following statement: "We should avoid it, because the development of group and class organizations in this country. There has been a time when we heard too much about the labor vote, the business vote, the Irish vote, the German vote, the French vote, and so on. But the demagogues who would array class against class and group against group have fortunately found little to reward their efforts. That is because, despite the demasculinization of men, the necessity as Americans has risen superior to any appeal to more class and group." We hope the net result of the Pres- ident's speech will be good, but THERE IS GREAT DANGER IN SOME THINGS HE SAID. "Most Dangerous Doctrines Ever Uttered." (Dr. W. A. Sinclair in guardian). The speech delivered by President Harding in Birmingham, Ala., is fraught with the most dangerous, perilous, destructive and hell-born diseases, and it has outlived fifty years of our development not only by a President of the United States but by any responsible cabinet minister. The uncontested race cannot afford to ignore these utterances; unquestionably great harm has already been done and incalculable injury to our race will certainly follow. *Pity!* It's shameful exploitation. Pity! The White House has lowered its prestige and dignity. *Pity!* President Harding and the Colored American. (From the Boston Guardian.) In regard to President Harding's speech at Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday of this week, October 26, 1921, we would say to this Republi- cian President Harding in the United States of America, most of whose parents and grand-parents were born in the U. S. A. see no reason why they should be expected to be simply Jews, but many of them not fully and wholly Americans, any more than Jews born here are expected to be willing to be simply Jews, Irish simply Irish, Italians simply Italians, and so on with the many differences. We demand that there be no distinction put upon us for race or color in public matters that is not put on every other race in this, our common country. The white Americans know that there is a positional difference between human beings, and just as much superficial difference except in color or feature between white races here as between Americans of color and those called black. Americans know that before the eyes of all Americans with the aid of the white man's impositions upon colored women. We object to being made the only everlasting aliens in our own land by any en- sured separation in the public life of the country, that come over our everlasting protest. The crux of the matter is this: Why does not President Harding ask us to be good leaders and efficient Americans? Why did we, white and black to be alike one uniform element of patriotic Americans, none trying to be good as white folks, none to be good as black folks, but all one common American citizen? The President in Alabama. (From the Richmond Planet.) President Harding says that there must be such education among the colored people as will enable them to develop their own leaders, capable of developing and sympathizing with such different groups, such as he has suggested—leaders who will inspire the race with proper ideals of race pride, of national pride, of an honorable destiny, an important participation in the universal effort for advancement of humanity as a whole, and an operation for nearly half a century. We are dumbfounded to learn that the President of the United States did not know it. The Southland is full of this kind of leaders. Dr. Booker T. Washington did his part in development of the principles of manhood, without which no race can rise to the full height of American citizen. He declared that the race problem was one noticeable in Africa, in South America, in the South Seas and in Africa, in the Haitian and in a world of a problem. The home of the Black Man is an amusing situation and a most interesting one. If the black people belong there, what are the white people doing in the land of the Ethiopian But then this is raising another issue. It seems to us that the Haitian and the African quotations from that Holy Bible upon which he took his oath of office and he would have found therein fundamental principles, the observance of which will settle all problems, racial and otherwise. The foregoing is an excerpt from a three-column edition in the Manet, Richard V. Van Asselted is too long to print in full. President's Southern Speech. (From the Wilmington (Del.) Advocate.) "Faith Falters, Hope Falters." (From the Chicago Whip.) Intelligence stands aghast, Patriotism trembles, Faith totters, Hope falters, and the finer sensibilities of the black men are shocked and stunned for the "Ideas of March" have been released by Harding, Republican President of the United States, words have fallen whose effect are as destructive and deadly as the poisonous germs which flew from Pandora's ill-fated box. "Ideas of March" upon us and according to his expressed dictum we are doomed eternally to be a race of slaves and scallions. The speech of Mr. Harding's upon the race issues delivered in Birmingham on October nineteen hundred and twenty-one sealed and stamped a policy which relegates the black people of America to conditions which are abhorrent, repugnant and disgusting to any soul of the nation, absolute and unqualified. Out of a great jargon of words and a scramble mele of incoherent thought a few ideas can be culled and garaged to institute an insidious and dangerous propaganda which leaves the black man in a precarious condition indeed He said that it is "a question of recognizing fundamental, eternal and incapable differences". He has encouraged himself in imitie egotism from the people, from the people of eternity. The black man is eternally and everlastingly different from all other people, no culture can make, exalt him, no deeds of valour can elevate him, no stroke of evolution can raise him; according to Mr. Harding, he is not a slave to God Almighty in all His Majestic Power can wipe out the color line. What the eternal differences are we cannot understand. Mr. Harding knows no more of what the future holds than we. It strikes us, how, upon scientific knowledge upon scientific knowledge but upon prejudices. Racial analgamation there cannot be—this is another one of the President's astounding assertions. Franz Boaz, one of the greatest anthropologists in the world, has declared that a centuries hence a swarm of willful white men would swarm of the whites and blacks. The analgamation of races has gone on through the ages and the powers and petty prejudices of mere man have been unable to check it, but alas—it must have been unable to check it. Give the black people economic and political equality but social equality never, quot the President. Thunder- In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. ous applause followed, black people flew into hysterical estacies. The black people being enveloped in a pathetic pall of ignorance could not appreciate the sinister and insidious nature of their actions, just said. Whatever social equality means it is allowed to all other people; it should not be denied to us. If the denial of social equality means the denial of inter-marriage of whites and blacks, it means that white men can seduce our daughters and sisters to marry them because these thieves of virtue are placed upon a higher social plane than the wretched, helpless women whom they have defiled and ruined. If social equality means intermingling of races and indiscriminately marrying women, Harding says is impossible, we can expect no equality in politics and economies. From various sources petitioned have been sent to the President begging that no black people be appointed into political positions which puts white people under their control; and no appointments have been made as yet to appoint a president on the basis of voting strength. Political equality is thus denied because of the inescapable social connection. Imagine a black man as governor of a state or a member of the President's cabinet. This cannot be as long as America the strictest in the backs of all black men. Political equality without social equality is a joke and means nothing. How can we expect to receive economic equality and opportunity when social equality is denied? Nobody has ever been by virtue of his inferior. The white man will not low his black brother to advance because of his intrinsic value as long as he is regarded as a social inferior. How can we expect to become officials who are concerns when the social intolerant maiden and men like Harding prevent it? It is regretted that Mr. Harding pronounced such a terrible sentence upon us. It is more regretted that the poor, ignorant black people saw the injustice of the situation, mean. Ignorance is indeed a curse, but cowardice and weakness is the great curse of the black people. Some have been heard to say that President Harding said more than some others. He said the reactionary "Cole Tom doct. inquisition" had been no loaf at all. Yet there are some black men, some real men left, thank God who want liberty, unqualified liberty or death. The "Ides of Martha" and have indeed has been wrought. Beware of the "Ides of March." Colored Man American, That's All. (From the Portland (Ore.) Times.) The President's logic is poor and his own words destroy his speech and his life into a vicious circle. To work out a greater success in the South, blacks and whites must forget "divergence in things social and racial" and relegate to the trashiness of the white man into escapable difference. There can be no two brands of civilization in this country. Three hundred years of contact with the white man has made the black man a country what he is. He has nothing to do with divine right but his color. He has imbibed the white man's blood, religion, manners, customs, and has adapted himself to the requirements of a white man to perform. So long as the colored man lives under American customs, he cannot be anything but American. $ ^{h} $Cannot Have Political Equality In Social Inferiors In the first place the President says that he must not aspire for social equality. In answer to that statement we wish to say that if the colored man does not aspire for social equality he must accept and be satisfied with social inequality. Colored man is equally likely to accept and be satisfied says that the colored man should not aspire for social equality, he means that the colored man occupies and should continue to occupy an inferior social position. We wish President says that the colored man should have political and economic equality, it would be impossible to have either if he were regarded as a social inferior. Again the President says, "Racial identity is the canvassing." PresidentMr. Harding did not have on his glasses when this statement was made, because he could have seen plenty of it in his audience. And it might not be too harsh to say that the white man has been enjoying the opportunity to us having during the day. In fact, during the Presidential campaign, it was rumored that Mr. Harding himself was a product of a racial amalgamation. Quoting another passage of the Presidential discourse: "The one thing we must sudely avoid, is the development of group organizations in this country. We have heard too much about the Irish vote, the Scandinavian vote, the Italian vote, and so on. We have our oneness as Americans should rise superior to every appeal." But why, when it comes to the colored man does the President say, "We must have complete divergence socially and racially?" Complete divergence socially and racially schools and segregated cities. Experience has taught us that jimcrow schools mean poorly equipped and in $2.40 PER YEAR efficient schools and segregated districts are always undesirable and neglected districts. How could the idea of our oneness as American citizens prevail if we insist on complete divergence socially and racially? We must franchise the President says, "Let the black man vote when he is fit to vote, prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote." Who is to be the judge of the black man's fitness to vote? In nearly every Southern state they have been judging or presiding over the white man's fitness to vote and that is the reason for his disfranchisement today. And finally, the President admonished us not to imitate the American white man. We quite agree that the colored man should not imitate the American white man in his lynchings, the cruelty of the other notorious practices. But we do believe that if there is any good in the American white man, the Jan, the Englishman, Hindu, or what not, we should imitate that good. Civilization has only progressed in that way. We should therefore not strive to be as good as the white man, or possible black man or the best possible white man, but we should strive to be the best possible MAN. The President Has Spoken (From the Denver Star.) The first utterance by the President on the status of the Negro in America comes at a time when silence is no longer endured and upon a subject wholly uncalled for "Twee Washington and kept silent than to advocate any form of un-Americanism. The colored man has suffered enough from the so-called friends of the Republican Party (?). Whey does the President of the United States advocate social equality as a cause to the black man? It is 8 and the man's amalgamated sons and daughters make up one-eighth the population of this country? If the colored woman was good enough to give birth to their children she ought to be good enough to marry them. The United States Court uphold jimcrow laws of the South? Was that social equality? Why do departments at Washington discriminate and segregate the colored employees? Is that social equality? Why doodge the issue? Why do the lily-white Refugee system from voting? Is that social equality? Why does Harding employ colored men to positions they have held since 1865? Is that social equality? Thousands of our sons lay asleep on the torn bombs of France who died for this country of justice that you portray as a barrier to the social life of our race. We will stand ready to defend our race in the sunshine of whose society we are ever happy. We want equality in every other citizen under the Constitution. We will accept nothing less. The President has spoken. Let the historians write: "Failed." President Harding Runs True to Form. (From the Philadelphia American.) President Hartling, in his address at the semi-centennial in Birmingham, Ala, on Wednesday last, nobly sustained his unenvirable reputation as a discreet follower of sectional sentiment. When he addressed an auditorium, he used the word as he reported as uttering the colored citizen should be given the equal protection of the law in the exercise of his rights as such. In Alabama, he claimed that there could and should be no such thing as social equality between the two citizens, as he reported as uttering the colored citizen should be given the enforcement of the law, the enforcement of the Federal Constitution, nor against lynching or the roasting of human beings at the stake. He did not even ask the moral support of his auditors for the passage of the antiterrorism law, as he reported about all of these important things, he was absolutely silent—and why? The President knew that such matters as enforcing the law against murder, mob violence, peonage and the right of suffrage were unpopular subjects that would have unnerved the rumen journeyed all the way to Birmingham, Ala, to tell the folks down there that social equality between the races were impossible. Good news and glad tidies, we fancy, peace on earth and good will to all white men in the country, the best possible men the rumenometer is unnerving on pinyoung on the race question. We do not agree with the President that our ideal should be the best possible black man, nor the best possible white man nor an imitation of such; but rather the best possible man stripped of both his rights, the best possible man discussed the standpoint of equality before the law the equal protection of the law, equa civil and political rights and one standard of citizenship to be supported and maintained by the law, the best possible man delivered a message to the people of the country and those of Alabama in particular, that would have been well worth the effort. No Sharp Line-Between Politics and Social Life. (From the New Republic, New York.) The South knows, as President Harding ought to know, that you can't draw a sharp line between politics and social life. The offices of a mayor are marked by positions of social leadership. With complete political equality the state of Mississippi might easily elect a Negro as governor. Would such a state be better as devoid of social significance? The race problem unfortunately is not one that admits of easy general solutions. (Further comment on second page.) mere || | Cl], lL tC aX yd ; THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN, NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY 4.

We present in this issue a sympo- sium of views of colored editors in various parts of the country on the spesches of President Harding in Bir- mingham, Ala, and Atlanta, Ga. One of the strongest of these is an editorial from the Richmond (Va) Planet, by that fearless journalist, John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the desire of President Harding to have more “negro” leaders developed, The Plaret says: THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS KIND OF LEADERS. DR. BOOK- ER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS PART IN DEVELOPING THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LAT- ER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE PRINCIPLES OF MANHOOD, WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP, This is a strong statement yet it is absolutely true. No single thing in the history of the colored people in the United States has done so much to prevent the full attainment of eiti- zenship as that speech of Booker Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ga,, in 1895. a THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we protest makes cowards out The human race has climbed test.

The human race has climbed on pro- test. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the in- quisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Since then the descent to hell has been swift and sure and the depths were sounded when the other day, Warren G, Harding, President of the United States, stood by the side of the Grady, monument in Atlanta, pro- nounced a eulogy on Henry W. Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and insidious enemy of the colored people that the country has produced, de- clared that the race question must be settled by the segregation of Ameri- can citizens.

Washing ton speech and the white man’s “good negro” pat oni the shoulder, the jimerow leaders’ tribe has increased 50 enormously thet it is now @ men- ace to be reckoned with in every com- ‘munity in which there are a hundred colored men. "Before he died Booker Washington repented in bitterness what he had done and longed for life to wash out his unwise course but it was too late. Although it may be news to many, it is a fact that after his death an ar- ticle, written by him, was printed in a leading magazine, in which he re- pudiated segregation which he had so long championed. No greater calamity could befall the colored people than the harvest- ing of a new crop of ‘“jimerow negro leaders.” DEATH OF ABDUL BAHA. A cable from Haifa Syria, an- nounced the death in that city of Abdul Baha Abbas, one of the great- est men of the day and the leader of the Bahaist movement. Abdul Baha, “servant of God,” traveled through the United States in 1912 and visited St. Paul among other places. He was the guest of the large congregation of Bahaists in Chicago the latter part of ‘April and early in May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedi- cated the site at the Sheridan road bridge in Wilmette, a suburb of Chi- cago, where the Bahaists are now building a temple costing several mil- lions of dollars, to be the world cen- ter of Bahaism. Abdul Baha was born in Teheran, Persia. He was the successor of the Bab, “gateway of knowledge,” who began about 1844 proclaiming throughout Islam the coming of a messenger of God and made much headway until executed at the age of 31. The noble father of Abdul Baha was Mirza Hossein Ali of Nour, a disciple of the Bab, Father and son were banished in 1868 to Akka, a prison city in Syria. Forty years later the Young Turks overthrew the despotic regime in Con- stantinople, and Abdul Baha was freed. ‘The death of Abdul Baha will be mourned by millions of his co-re- ligionists all over the world and it is now claimed that there is at least 50,000,000 of them, who practice as well as preach that “of one blood God ‘made all nations.” There are many thousands of col- ored people in the United States who have left orthodox Christianity and have become Bahaists because of hy- procrisy of the so-called Christians on the color question, WERE THE CARDS STACKED? ‘Twenty-three years ago the United States occupied the Philippine Islands, promising independence for the Fili- pinos in about twenty years or as soon as the natives were “qualified for freedom.” Shortly after coming into power the present Republican administration THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man who in the c< entious discharge of his duty dar stand alone; the world, with ignc intolerant judgment, may cond | the countenances of elatives mz averted, and the hearts of friends cold, but the sense of duty done be sweeter than the applause o * world, the countenances of relatis the hearts of friends.— Charles Sur honor the man who in the consci- entious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of Yelatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shail be sweeter than the applause of the ’ world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.— Charles Sumner. We are sorry. to notice that some colored man has written an article in which he says ‘that President Hard- ing’s Birmingham speech is a “Magna Charta of Negro rights.” Evidently the gentleman, like President Harding has not thought the question through. Instead of being a great charter of liberties, it is really a curse hurled at the colored people fiom which it will take a thousand years to recover, We have gathered together and re- print ‘in this issue many columns of comment on the President's Southern speeches and we recommend that the people who have been disposed to swallow the discourses in toto, should read the articles carefully and learn of the dangers which lurk in the Preiident’s attitencia. = ‘Under the heading “Gamaliel Emu- lates Gililean,” the Republican Pub- licity Association is sending out to Republican newspapers a lot of dope comparing President Harding to Jesus Christ; but the resemblances are not many._, Christ did not teach that there were “fundamental, eternal- and un- eseapable differences” between hu- man beings. Rich and poor, bond and free, black and white all looked alike to the Galilean, ‘TRUE TO FORM. At the Detroit Methodist. conference Emmett J. Scott declared “The Negro does not ask sotial equality and never has asked it, All he’ asks is social justice.” But, pray how ean the col- ored man get “social justice unless he has every kind of equality before the law and in public opinion?” Domi- nant people donot give exact justice to people they consider their infewiors. Scott was private’ secretary - to Booker Washington for nearly twenty years and was well trained to reiter- ate that the colored man does not want that and other things which would please the South.

Let us assume that the President was sane and serious and could not_and did not mean by. “soctal equality” anything so inconceivable as the right ofa man, to invite himself to. an- other man’s dinner table.

Washington to dine with Presi- dent Roosevelt! ‘The answer to this inconceivably dangerous. and. undemocratic demand must come with the unanimous ring of 12 million voices, enforced by’ the voice of every American who believes in humanity. Let us henceforward frankly ad- mit that which we hitherto have al ways Known: that no system of social wuplift “whieh begins by denying. the ‘manhood of a’man ean end by_ giving ‘him a free ballot, a real eddeation and a just wage. Race Equality, Let us confess that. the pseudo- science to which the President. un. happily, referred as authority, and the guilty philanthropy which has greedily levelled racial barriers and now seeks with the blood-stained hands of a Lugard to rearrange them so that profit may emerge and man- fhood be dammed—et us confess that all this is vain, wrong and hypocrit fecal and that every honest soul today who seeks peace, disarmament and the uplift of all men must say with the Pan-African Congress: “The absolute equality of races— physical, political and social—is. the founding stone of world peace and human advancement. No one. denies great differences of gift, capacity and attainment among individuals of all races, but the voice of science, religion and practical polities is one in deny- ing the God-appointed existence of superior races, or of races naturally and inevitably ‘and eternally inferior.” To deny this fact is to throw open the door of the world to a future of hatred, war and murder such as never yet has staggered a bowed and cruci- fied humanity. How can a man bring himself to conceive that, the majority ‘of mankind—Chinese, Japanese, In- dians and Negroes are going to stand up and acknowledge to the world that they are unfit to be men or to. asso- Jeiate with men, when they know they are men? Amalgamation. But President Harding doesnot stop even here. He declares, “Racial lamaleamation there cannot be.” What does the President mean? Does he mean that the white and Negro races in this land never have mixed? ‘There are by census reports over two million acknowledged mu- fattoes in the United States todays and witout doubt there are, in. fact, no less than four million persons with white and Negro blood . Does he mean that there is no amal- gamation today? Between 1850 and 1921 the mulattoes have increased over 400 per cent. Does he meain thege will be no, future ‘amalgama- tio? “How does he know? ‘Or does he mean that it, would be better for whites and blacks not to amalgamate? If he meant that, why did he not say so plainly? And’ if he had said s0, 99 per cent of the Ne- groes would agree with him. We have not asked amalgamation; we hhave resisted it. Tt has been forced ‘on us by brute strength, ignorance, poverty, degradation and fraud. 1 ig the white race, roaming the world that has left its trail of bastards and outraged women and then raised, holy yhands. to heaven and deplored “race mixture” No, we are not demand: ing and do not_want amalgamation but the reasons are ours and noi yours.

Woodson at Historical as- Sociation Meeting.) The sensation of the Sixth Annual Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and. History which convened in’ Lynchburg . last week, proved to be the address of Dr. XE, i. Crooks, President of Randolph: ‘Macon College, a white institution lo- cated near Lynchburg. In his address, Dr. Grooks used the president's speech at Birmingham and endorsed” the stand of the question of social equality and racial amalgamation recently tak- en by President Harding. Dr. Crooks advised the audience of nearly one ‘thousand of the leading colored citi- zens of Lamchburg to develop a self Fespect” ‘and to recognize the “im- possible gulf that forever separates the Negro from the whites.” Every colored man or woman who cultivates a little flower garden and paints the fence in front of his home is helping the race by, this visible evidence of self respect,” continued the worthy doctor, “Ask your leaders if T am not right on this score, Ask Dr. Moton. I am sure that he will agree with me.” __, At the conclusion of the address Dr. ©. G. Woodson, director of the associ ation, rose to make reply as a breath- less silence fell upon the great gather- ing. Speaking clearly, slowly and in | most emphatic manner, the director opened his remarks by ‘stating. first that he wanted to give Dr. Crooks a little information on the race question, He then proceeded to enlighten the worthy doctor, to the effect that President Harding mor any other white man could: speak for colored people because they did not — know what they were thinking about; sec- ondly ‘he stated very decidedly’ tha neither was Robert Russa Moton in a position to speak for Negroes because bs sorcalad leadership had long since been repudiated by all intelligent and self-respecting colored men. “My dear sir, continued Dr. Woodson, “you and all’ white men have the wrong ‘gonception of what colored men mean by social equality, We are not seek- ing to marry white women, red wo- men, yellow women, or any other color of women; but’ we do want to ride decently in a railroad train or street car When we come into your State of Virginia. We do want’ the Tight to go to the polls and exercise our constitutional right to vote and to hold office; ‘we do want the priv- lege of sitting where we please in theatres, railroad stations and any other places of public assembly. And for these rights the colored man in- tends to ficht—until he dies” ; Social Equality. (From the Seattle Enterprise.) “Social equality” is a meaningless term in a democracy, where class and caste divisions are inconsistent with the very foundation of society. ‘The artificial social separation of individu. als of different races merely makes matters worse by preventing them from understanding one another and working together along the lines. of the innumerable civic interests com- ‘mon to all citizens. It is the business of every person, of any race, to select his own personal associates on grounds of congeniality, “community ‘of interests and_ personal " approval. Each person is the equal of those who ike him well enough to associate with him as such, and his refusal to so base his choice of associates on accidents of birth, or wealth is nobody's business Dut his own, Those too narrow mind- ed to do likewise have the privilege of doing as they see fit. As to inter- marriage, this, too, is an alfair of in dividuals’ which does not in any way deserve to be made a public issue. | “AW Appeal €0 Race Prapidton: Marga Sh aac eae tee rea eee A close study of the President's speech as to its effect upon the col- ered people of this country, The Argus sees danger, grave danger in the’ President's stand on what he calls social equality.” | In he fat place we believe it ill-advised that he as President of the United States should have attempted to discuss a subject which he himself admits does not exist. ‘The question of political, economical and educational equality ‘is impossi- ble so long ag the white people cf the South, yes, of the North or elsewhere are being ‘warned of the question of social equality. It is an appeal to race prejudice and it finds its way into very economic and civil phate of America’s life. ‘We want to be men, free men, en- Joying every right that. others enjoy, limited only by our ability. We want to breathe the sunlight of God's love in the “Land of the free and_ the home of the brave,” and be anything ‘we are big enough'to be. No More Blind Allegiance to Repub- : Hoan Party. (From the Star, Newport News, Va.) The President may be assured that he will never live to. see the colored man pay the same blind allegiance to the ‘Republican party which has marked his conduct in the past, Like other groups in this eoantry, the col ored man’s support will go to the Party, which offers the nearest, ap- proach to the giving of the race the Same rights and privileges extended to other citizens of the country. But for the failure of ex-President Wilson to keep his pre-election prom- ises, Mr. Barding would never’ have gotten the. solid colored vote, which was cast, for him in his election to the Presidency, and now that Presi dent Harding has handed the colored brother the same sop which marked their treatment by Mr. Wilson, he will be governed by far different condi tions in his support of parties in the future, Wrong in Six Vital Points.

All sorts of fuel may be obtained at some price but whether one gets the greatest amount of heat for the smallest outlay of cash is anything but certain. Just now a strenuous effort is being made to educate our people to the several advantages Koppers Twin City Coke has over other fuels among which are: It gives a clean, even heat. It is smokeless, sootless, and contains no slate. It solves the clinker and ash sifting nuisance by burning to a small amount of fine, dustless ashes which contain nothing to sift. It is easily regulated to increase the heat quickly in the morning or to get warm, even heat during the day and night. It is more economical than hard coal—once the fuel standard. If you wish to learn all about it and how to use it, call Midway 7800 and demonstrators will call at once and tell you all about it free.—Advertisement. DANCE I.B.P.O.E.W. TAXIES AT 12 P. M.

STOVES STORED Mrs. Susie Gordon, who has been making her home with Mrs. Florence Duckett, 687 St. Anthony ave., was held up by a bandit on Thanksgiving night and received severe injuries. Her purse contained very little money but was taken from her. It is very unsafe for the women to be on the streets after six p. m. This is about the fifth or sixth colored woman that has been attacked recently. Mrs. Gordon is much improved at this writing. Rev. Simmons, pastor of Camphor Memorial M.

About the 15th of November the people of the Twin Cities received handsomely engraved announcements of Rev. and Mrs. Edward W. Moseley of Jackson, Tenn., announcing the marriage of their daughter, Marguerite Florence to Mr. Harold C. Combs on Wednesday, August 10th, 1921 at Bellville, Ill. This was quite a surprise to most of the people who were in blissful ignorance of the changed social status of the bridegroom, a popular society young man, and a member of the firm of Combs Bros., Tailors and Dry Cleaners, 809 Fourth Ave. So., Minneapolis. Accompanying the announcements were invitations to the wedding, reception of the young couple at the residence of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James B. Combs, 3533 Fourth ave. So. Society was all agog; those who had been favored with invitations prepared to give the newly-weds a hearty welcome. On so last Tuesday evening the spacious residence was the scene of a most delightful social function that taxed the capacity of the residence which was specially decorated for the occasion. The ladies and gentlemen in the reception line were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Quilian Hicks, St. Paul; Mr. and Mrs. James B. Combs; Mrs. James C. Terry; Miss Eleanor Castone; Mr. and Mrs. Harold C. Combs; Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Murphy; Mr. and Mrs. Hiram K. Gibbs. The reception committee was as follows: James E. Combs, Carl Wade, Tela Burt, Wm. B. Horton, H. Allen. Mrs. Frank Lee assisted in serving the guests. Mrs. Clete Oliver, St. Paul, sang, "I Love You Truly," Mrs. Paul Currie accompanied and also presided at the piano during the evening. After congratulations had been tendered refreshments were served and joy was unconfined, dancing, of course, being one of the features. At a late hour the guests departed wishing the young people many happy returns of the day. Mr. and Mrs. Combs will make their home for the present, with the groom's parents where they are now at home to their friends. They were the recipients of a large number of handsome and useful presents, testifying to the esteem in which they are held by their friends.
